To all ywhomft' may concern Be it known that l, Jox-1N S. THoMPsoN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, countvY of Cook, andState of illinois, have invented a new and Improved Type- Castingldachine, of which the following is a description.

My invenhtion relates to that class of devices employed for casting thevarious forms of type used in the art of printinof.

The object of my invention is to produce a simple, compact, and easilyadjusted device of the kind described, wherein the various adjustmentsincident to the operation of the machine are so conveniently providedfor that the services of an especially trained and skilled operator mayhe dispensed vvith.

To this end my improvement consists inthe novel construction,arrangement, and combination of parts, herein shown and described-andmore particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings wherein like or similar referencecharacters indicate like or corresponding parts Figure l is an elevationof my device. Fig. Q is a partial section taken substantially on line2--9 of Fig. al. Fig. 3 is a perspective detailof the matrix holder.Fig. l is a plan view of my device. Fig. 5 is a partial section takensubstantially on line 5-5 of Fig. l. Fig. 6 is a partial section takensubstantially.'
